2019 MLB Regular Season running thread

Har dee har har!

 

The uniforms reminded me of pro wrestling in the 1950s. The good guys wore white trunks and the villains wore black.

 

Kansas City Royals reportedly up for sale.

This is a very good thing.
Decent ROI for Glass.
Purchased for 96 million. Supposedly getting 1 billion or more.

 

Alberto Gonzales (yep, the AG during the Dubya Debacle) and Dave Stewart (the pitcher, not the keyboardist) teaming up...to bring MLB...to Nashville.

Wut?

Group trying to bring Major League Baseball to Music City has chosen name: Nashville Stars

 

Dave Stewart had one of the worst front-office reigns in modern MLB history. Why would anyone want him running a team?

 

Baseball is stretching it now with its franchises. Too much of team revenue is locally based for Nashville to compete.

 

Fun read

Why MLB's ‘courtesy trots’ matter

 

Gotta be "Nashville Cats," if for no other reason than the already-written easy-to-sing seventh-inning stretch fight song.

 

I think that song was on one of those Wacky Songs records I had as a kid. You know, the records that also had "Red Baron," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Monster Mash" — shit like that.

 

Fuck that.

Sounds.

 

That was the minor league team’s name when I went to a game there — checks Mayan calendar — 34 years ago.
